another snowflake puzzle...painted

[bubbantenn]

This time I decided to try painting the puzzle to make it more challenging. It took me way longer to paint this than it did to cut it...about two hours. I can cut one in 30 or 40 minutes.
What do you think??

I can see the children putting this together during those snow days out of school ......

I think it's a great achievement and it looks great, but I'm stumped as to what the pieces look like. Are they all different?

That is a great job. Love the paint, I may have to copy your idea.

Yes Carter, they are all different. You can see the pattern if you go to the home page and click on the article about the contrasting snowflake puzzle. It said with the center piece in place there are 161 solutions, without it, more than a thousand possibilities ( I think that's right). SO I glued the center piece in place as the article suggested. You can see my other puzzle in an eariler thread. I just wood burned that one so that the wood grain was still visible to use as a clue. With this one painted, it will be much more difficult.
As you always say, 'phun!"

Man what a puzzle!

I don't think I could get through that with out losing my mind....or maybe you need to be a little out of your mind to get through it.

Good job.
